Regular humidistats located on the wall simply detect absolute humidity levels and are prone to false triggers, or not operating when they should An automated solution to fight excess humidity and mold: Our humidity sensing fans turn on and off automatically to help prevent cosmetic and structural problems associated with excess moisture Adjust the sensitivity level and run-time: Just beneath the drop-down grille are easy-to-adjust sensitivity and run-time controls. Choose your preference, set with a screwdriver and forget it. Of course, you can always override the sensor at the touch of a switch Hands-free operation: Since you never have to worry about turning the fan on, Broan Ultra Silent™ is ideal for problem areas in residential, institutional and light-commercial applications. Our exclusive Sensaire® technology is a perfect solution for high-traffic bathrooms, or a kid's bathroom It turns off automatically, and that saves money: Humidity sensing fans are ideal for anyone who leaves the house before humidity is properly vented. With a fan this quiet, you can't forget to turn it off when the job is done. That saves energy, and money
